Olbia -- History
Sardinia is one of the most ancient lands in europe, visited way back in the Paleolithic period though inabithed permanently by man only much later, in the Neolithic age, around 6000 B.C. The first man to settle in Gallura and Northern Sardinia probably came from Italian mainland and, in particular, from Etruria. Those who populated the central region of the island arrived, it seems, from the Iberian Peninsula by way of the Balearic Islands. Those who founded their settlements around the gulf of Cagliari were in all likelihood Africans. Hence, it can be said that in Sardinia there never was one single people but really several peoples.
As time passed, the Sardinian peoples became united in language and customs yet remained divided politically into various smaller tribal states. Sometime they were banded together, while at others they were at war with one other.
Cagliari is the main political, administrative, economic and cultural centre of Sardinia and the first port of the island.
It is situated in the middle of the wide Gulf of Angels spreading on the southern slope of Sardinia, from Capo Pula to Capo Carbonara.
The climate is mild in winter and hot in summer. The medieval town was composed by a village placed on a hill: only the towers and bastions remain there. Sea quarters spread towards the harbour. At the beginning of its history Cagliari was a Carthaginian colony flourished then under the Roman rule. Destroyed by the Saracens, it raised again under the Republic of Pisa. In 1326 it was conquered by the Catalans, who during their domination gave it the features of a Spanish town.
In 1718 Sardinia was annexed to the Reign of Savoy and since then on Cagliari followed the destiny of the island.
In 1862, when Cagliari was no longer a stronghold, its fortifications were destroyed and the development of the modern town began.
